Osyadha Ramadhana (b. 1997), commonly known as Ocak, graduated with a major in Fine Arts from Universitas Brawijaya. Her artistic creations seamlessly integrate the technique of traditional batik into a contemporary framework by blending various textile mediums. Drawing inspiration from shared childhood memories, her creations are a tribute to collective experiences. One prominent influence on her work is the renowned tale of Sang Kancil, a clever mouse-deer featured in traditional fables popular in Indonesia and Malaysia. Ocak’s artistic journey has taken her to numerous group exhibitions across Indonesia, including Redbase Foundation, Art Jakarta 2023 with Studio Dinding Luar, Taman Budaya Yogyakarta, Mini Art Malang, and Russ Gallery Bali.
We pay our respects to the Gundungurra people who are the traditional custodians of the land. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.
